Hi All, I know this is a well worn topic !! Went away in the Freelander this weekend and for once parked overnight on a smooth tarmac drive rather than the gravel at our place. When I stated it up in the morning, I noticed a big patch of growing diesel on the wet tarmac coming from the holes in...

Hi All, I've finally got around to changing the rubber window seals on my two rear side doors. Both have suffered from the filler moulded into the quarter-light rubber core 'blowing' and splitting the seals with all the chalky cr*p inside coming out inside the car. I removed the inside door...

Hi to All........ My first post - I just swapped my old but reliable Hilux (am I mad ?)for a 2005 Freelander TD4 and the fun's started already. I'm pretty used to fixing old Brit bikes and cars and so I'm not too daunted by venturing into 'Land Rover' land. Having read all the do's and don'ts...
